forthcoming, Cornerstone Press - University of Wisconsin Stevens Point​​
Essays, coming of age, feminist, work, Midwest, late 90s
​
At Work, a collection of interconnected essays, traces a young woman’s journey from anxiety to curiosity as she seeks to identify herself through the lens of myriad working-class roles in the 90s and early 00s. Her experiences, from bussing tables to working factory lines, weave a tapestry of magic from the fibrous normalcy of repetitive tasks—so many clocked hours in such quiet corners of Ohio. It will be out in 2027.

We Arrive Uninvited
When Emerson was twelve, she was enamored by her grandmother Amelia and believed that what others saw as eccentricity or mental illness was instead a misunderstood gift.
"We Arrive Uninvited is not just a novel about mental illness—it’s about empathy, survival, and the ways women navigate the world’s attempts to silence them in the name of embracing one’s full self." ​
—Claire Melanie Svec via Sundress Reads
